AylerKupp: <cormier> Running chess engines, particularly Stockfish, to search depths of only 12-13 ply will not yield evaluations that anyone would have confidence in their accuracy. You need to run Komodo and Houdini to search plies in the high 20s at a minimum, and preferably in the low- to mid 30s. For Stockfish you need to let it run higher; to the mid 30s at a minimum and preferably to the low- to mid-40s. Fortunately Stockfish gets to deeper search depths than Houdini or Komodo in approximately the same amount of time, so those analyses will all take approximately the same amount of time.

You should also report which version of each engine you are using, the more recent versions are stronger and you can have higher confidence in their evaluations than earlier version if run to the same search depth.

If you are going to run multi-engine analyses, see my discussion on non-determinism starting at US Championship (2017) (kibitz #633) and also in my forum's header. If you have at least a 4-core computer, you may find it more efficient (less total time) to run all 3 engines concurrently, each using a single thread, with a reduced hash table (to prevent disk swapping) rather than running each engine sequentially using 4 cores and a larger hash table.

offramp: I have annotated this game in great detail on two sheets of European A4 paper, which is a bit like American foolscap. If you send me your address, via this site, I can post that analysis to you.

But be warned I WILL need it back by the end of August 2017, so that I can send it to my friend in Cape Verde.

What might be best is if you photocopy it once you receive it and then send me the original back.

Make sure it IS the original that you send back because that has some pencil writings on it which probably won't photocopy very well. I don't want to ink them in because they would obliterate some other important notes that I have made.

In some parts it might be hard to make out my handwriting. I have written the phone number of my chiropractor in one of the margins. He has read it right through and he will be able to resolve any difficulties in comprehension.
